Skillsoft achieves Workday Certified Integration to optimise talent development
Skillsoft has announced it has achieved Workday Certified Integration status, enabling a connection between Skillsoft’s learning platform, Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), and Workday Skills Cloud. This integration will facilitate better management of workforce skills and learning processes.
Skillsoft provides learning platforms and content to help organisations and their employees develop skills relevant to their industries and functions.
Workday HCM helps organisations streamline operations and plan for future workforce needs, while Workday Skills Cloud applies AI and machine learning to enhance skills intelligence.
Skillsoft's research indicates that 66% of decision-makers report skills gaps within their organisations, and 24% struggle to predict future skills needs. The integration addresses these challenges by enabling a skills-based approach to learning and career development.
The integration gives organisations detailed insights into their workforce’s skills and facilitates tailored learning experiences. It also connects with Workday Cloud Connect for Learning, enhancing the efficiency of administrative operations and enabling businesses to better manage talent reskilling aligned with strategic objectives.
Apratim Purakayastha, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Skillsoft, said:
“Skillsoft and Workday are delivering an innovative approach to workforce transformation that will bring significant business advantage to any organization investing in skills-based talent development strategies. Employees can now focus on building the skills they need to advance their careers while organizations can harness the strength of their talent to drive scalable growth."
Larissa Chaikowsky, Head of Talent Reskilling and Acceleration at the Bank of Montreal, also commented on the integration's impact:
“The integrations between Skillsoft and Workday will give us increased visibility and insight into our workforce's skills and allow us to deliver a more focused, targeted learning experience to all Bank of Montreal team members."
